How to get to Park Güell ?

The Park is off-centre. We must prepare this visit carefully :

• The Hop On Hop Off Barcelona (blue route), which we mentioned in two of our packages, will drop you off just a stone's throw from Parc Guell, which is great. The stop is on the Travessera de Dalt at a 10 minute walk and it is recommended to reach it by the Carrer de Larrard (main entrance).
• Park Guell by bus: Bus 24 leaves from Plaça Catalunya and leaves you not far from the park.  The other bus lines are H6, 32 and 92.
• Park Guell Metro : get off at Lesseps L3 or Vallcarca L3 metro stations and walk about 20 minutes. The Vallcarca station is located at the summit of the park where you will only have to go down towards the main entrance. The Lesseps station is located at the bottom of the Park, so you will have to climb using escalators.
• By taxi, it is very practical and fast but a little expensive. From the city center count 13-16 euros the race. Same price for the return. There is a taxi stand at the main entrance.

The Gaudí House Museum
The Gaudí House Museum or "Casa Museu Gaudí" in Catalan, was the residence of the architect Antoni Gaudí from 1906 to 1925.
> This museum can be visited with an additional ticket to the Parc Güell, as well as to the garden, according to the date and time you choose when you buy your tickets. This visit is, therefore, free of queues, as is the entrance to the Park.
Gaudí spent 19 years of his life in this house, which became a museum in 1963. It is visited to discover an exhibition of furniture designed by Gaudí for the Casa Batlló, the Casa Calvet, the Casa Milà, the Casa Vicens, and the crypt of the Colònia Güell. On the first floor, you will find the designer's office and bedroom. A visit to the intimacy of the architect where personal documents and audiovisual projections help us to understand his life and work.
This house was a kind of show house for a project that planned to build sixty houses in the park. Only two houses were built. Neither was sold and the housing project was forgotten. Gaudi decided to buy this house in 1906 and live in it almost until his death. It is known that he lived his last months in the Sagrada Família.
Since 1992, the Gaudí House Museum has belonged to the Foundation Junta Constructora del Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, whose aim is to disseminate the life and work of the architect.

The Monumental Staircase

At the main entrance, in front of you, you will find the monumental staircase composed of several stairs and fountains, the most famous is shaped like a mosaic salamander, a symbol of the city.

The Hypostyle Hall with its 86 inclined columns

The Sala Hipóstila, composed of 86 six-meter-high columns, was to serve as a market and alludes to a forest. On the ceiling of this room, circles of mosaics represent the four seasons and the lunar cycles.

The Wavy Bench of the Square of Nature

The Place de la Nature, a kind of ancient agora, is the most emblematic part of the park. Its long mosaic bench and one of the most photographed monuments in Barcelona. Gaudi used more than anywhere else the technique of the "trencadis" which consisted in reusing fragments of recycled ceramics to make new decorative motifs, typical of Catalan modernist architecture. The Plaza de la Nación offers a beautiful panoramic view of Barcelona.

The Park and the Calvary

A short walk through the park will take you to the Austrian gardens, a viaduct, and the Calvary, the highest point on the hill.

The Boutique Laie Park Güell

A shop where you can buy souvenirs of the Guell Park and Antoni Gaudí's work. These are derived products such as postcards, posters, t-shirts but also jewelry and costume jewelry, decorative objects, reproductions and specialised books on Gaudí, Modernisme (Catalan Art Nouveau), and Barcelona. This shop is located in one of the entrance pavilions of Park Güell.

Park Guell Covid-19

Of all the monuments in Barcelona, Park Güell is one of the ones that best faced the Covid-19 sanitary crisis, leaving its doors open when other places like Sagrada Familia were forced to close. The reason is very simple, visiting a park in the open air is obviously less likely to be a source of virus transmission.

Visiting Park Guell is therefore very safe*.

Nevertheless, different sanitary measures are now in force:

• The use of a mask is not mandatory in the Park Guell, except when it is impossible to maintain a minimum distance of 1.5 meters with people not living with you.
• It is advisable to wash your hands at the entrance of the park where a hydro-alcoholic solution is available free of charge.
• In some areas, such as the Hypostyle Hall and the Dragon's Staircase, the number of visitors is regulated in order to avoid possible crowding.
• The Caretaker's House and the Park Shop have adapted their spaces and capacity.

*Park Guell is certified "Safe Tourism Certified" by the Spanish Institute of Quality Tourism.
